Re: Re: [T3] Speed and engine temp


please remember, engine load determines oil temp, not rpm.  rpm determines head temp.  technically, you can run hotter oil due to engine load and still have a the heads run cool.  an example is if you pull a long grade.  oil temps climb due to load, but often cylinder temps go down becaues the air/fuel mixture goes fuel rich and rpms aren't as high.
